Gaming Roundup for 9/15/06

Part of: Gaming Round Up

Doing another catch-up after a busy week:

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 update available

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 now has a free universal patch available for download by Aspyr Media, Inc.

The official update will revise any version of Tycoon 3 to version 1.2 Rev. A and provides fixes for several minor issues.

The change allows for the program to run natively on Intel-based Macs, fixes a crash when communicating with iTunes to retrieve the “RCT3” playlist and now Cmd+Tab and Cmd+H can be used in fullscreen mode to switch in and out of the game.

The 8.4 MB download is available here.

Commercial version of Shot-Online available

SyNET Entertainment recently released the world’s first massively multiplayer online golf game to the PC – Shot-Online.

After a long period of beta testing, the game is now available in retail stores at the price of $29.99. The game allows players to customize in-game characters and build up experience to increase stats and money to buy equipment while competing against other golfers. Players can also socialize with other golfers while traveling around the country club searching for games and shops.

There is no subscription fee for online play and the retail package includes $20 worth of in-game currency, entry into exclusive tournaments and a lottery ticket with a grand prize of a in-game set of clubs worth $100.

Frogger’s mobile version brings more green

Frogger, Frogger Puzzle and Frogger for Prizes has now exceeded $10 million in gross sales to date on the mobile platform, Konami recently announced.

The releases, along with the 360 Marketplace version, come amidst the frog’s 25 anniversary, which Konami will be marketing as Frogger 25th Evolution this fall for another mobile release.
